I know it has only been 2 games and that is a very small sample but the numbers for Steve thus far are troubling.

 

Through 2 games, he has a career worst 9.4 YPC. His 51.5 YPG are his second lowest as a full time starter since the 2010 debacle. At that clip, he is on pace for 824 total yards. 

 

What can you make out of those numbers? Either Steve is declining or Shula does not know how to utilize Steve and his strengths. Granted most of us wished he move to the slot but Shula with his short routes do not play to Steve's play making ability.

 

Shula is calling plays designed more for players in the mold of Wes Welker as opposed to the like of Victor Cruz. Granted Cam has missed Steve on a couple long ones and Steve has lost a step but the 5 yard speed outs and dinky dunk hitch routes are not using the weapons you have to their full potential.

 

#89 is the only WR worth a damn on the roster and he is being used on dinky dunk crap routes.

 

On a positive note, Steve is #23 on the all time receiving list at 11,555 yards. Assuming he can squeeze another 800 yards in there (1,000 for the season), he will move to #17 all time moving past Jimmy Smith, Charlie Joiner, Hines Ward, Derek Mason, Michael Irvin and Don Maynard.

 

Slightly negative note.....Andre Johnson is on his tail and will more than likely pass him up this year with 11,476 yards.

 

Have a great day!

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Backup QB has been an issue of mine for a long time but not just for Bryce and Dalton. We have never really been able to develop QBs or build an offense around strengths. Dalton isn't going to move the needle one way or another. The problem is in our FO and possibly coaching staff (current staff undetermined as of yet). I'm of the belief that you always try to get better. Dalton wasn't good other than one game against an abysmal defense. Churn the roster, including backup QB. If BY isn't the guy we've got to start over anyway. Who knows. We might actually find someone good. Other teams have done it before.

      Lol. Worst case? I think you mean most likely result. I don't think people are going to be wasting much breath on Dalton or QB2 if Bryce flounders this year. It's going to be people calling for coaches, GM's and owners heads for the mess we got ourselves in with Bryce in the first place. Rightfully so.

      I mean that's his sole reason for being here. He doesn't win football games. He's here to keep Bryce comfortable.
